-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235162 Title: Regression: Persistent net names via /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent- net.rules fail Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: systemd-udev 204. Installing 13.10 amd64 on a multi-homed server. There are 5 ethernet interfaces, one on the mobo and four on a PCIe adapter. udev created "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" and I later edited the NAME= assignments to match the device naming required. These rules are apparently ignored but it transpires that the kernel is returning -EEXIST from net/core/dev.c::dev_get_valid_name(). This renaming works in earlier versions, specifically on a 12.04 LTS server with ten Ethernet interfaces, and is therefore a regression.
